Ingredients

Dough:

3/4 c warm water

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast

8 oz (~1 3/4 cups) bread flour (or all-purpose)

3 oz (~3/4 cup) whole wheat flour

1 oz (2 tablespoons)Earth Balance Margarine, melted

Other supplies needed:

Neutral vegetable oil

10 cups of water

2/3 cup baking soda

kosher or pretzel salt

1 egg yolk

Directions

Proof the yeast with the water and sugar for five minutes (or skip it, I rarely proof yeast)

Add the flour, salt and margarine to the yeast, water and sugar. Mix in a stand mixer with a dough hook until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rise until doubled 50-55 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Bring the 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Punch down the dough divide into six equal pieces. Oil your hands and a clean surface and roll the dough out into a rope ~16 inches long. Make a U with the rope and then cross the two ends over each other. Or make any shape. We made circles and small rolls and little baguettes and they all were good.

One at a time gently place the pretzels in the boiling baking soda water for 30 seconds. Remove and place on the lined baking sheet.

Add a teaspoon of water to the egg yolk and beat it to incorporate the water. Brush the yolk onto the pretzels and sprinkle on a little kosher or pretzel salt.

Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Neat. I know you cook bagels in water first before baking but didn't realize you did the same thing with pretzels. Thanks for the great recipe!
